The COST Association announced the collection date for 2024: 23 October 2024 at 12.00 (noon) CEST (the next collection date is then expected to be in autumn 2025). Researchers are invited to submit COST Action proposals contributing to the scientific, technological, economic, cultural or societal knowledge advancement and development of Europe. Multi- and interdisciplinary proposals are encouraged.
COST Actions are bottom-up and can be on any topic, however they must fulfill certain criteria in order to be approved, such as including researchers from at least seven COST Member countries, half of whom come from our Inclusiveness Target Countries (ITC).
The Open Call Action proposal submission, evaluation, selection and approval (SESA) procedure is fully science and technology-driven and will ensure a simple, transparent and competitive proposal evaluation and selection process, reflecting the bottom-up, open and inclusive principles of COST. Proposals for new COST Actions can be submitted via e-COST, the dedicated grant management tool.
From the Western Balkans, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia are full members of COST. Researchers from Kosovo* can participate as a “Near Neighbourhood Country“.
